Navy Reserve Seen Replaced By Army Units

By FARMER TISSINGTON Capital Bureau. The Guardian

OTTAWA — The departmen. of national defence is wiping out the navy reserve in Prince Ed- ward Island to make room .‘ the army and avoid the access sity of constructing a new arm- ory. on. J. Angus MacLean said here Tuesday. -

Commenting on the defence department's decisions in re- gard to militia and reserve un- its, Mr. MacLean. who is a member of the special Com- mons' defence committee. sari he was very disappointed at to decision to Queen Charlotte in Charlotte town.

He pointed out that the Hendy report on the navy, brought in earlier this year. had strongly

recommended the retention o' Queen Charlotte. The reasons given include the fact that it

was the sole representative of the navy in a province with a historic Maritime tradition. The building was comparative'y now, well situated. cost little to operate and was in a provincial capital on salt water.

To QUEEN CHARLOTTE

"Tuesday's Suttle commission report and the department‘s de- cision on it means that four ml lilia units of the army are to be housed in Queen Charlotte and this will avoid the necessity of the department constructing a new armory to replace the an- cient. building now in use. MacLean said.

He. said the previous Conser- vative government had a tents live. program of armory replace- ment and the Charlottetown armory was high on the priority list. The armory. which has been in use for about 100 years. would be going out of use as a military establishment a .i d would either be sold off for oth-

:er purposes or torn down. Mr .MacLean said.

“I am very disappointed that they have decided to abandon Queen Charlotte in the light the Hendy report. The Chariot tetown area has given good sup- port to the unit over the yea‘. and the building. while coin paratively new, is not designed for use of army units." M' MacLean said.

DEPT. DECISIONS The Suttie commission recom-

mendations and th e depart- ment's decisions with regard ['1
